Top U.S. Official: Cruz’s ‘Carpet Bomb’ Idea Un-American

At a briefing with reporters Monday, Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, commander of the coalition war against ISIS, rejected calls to “carpet bomb” ISIS targets, calling it “inconsistent with our values,” Nancy A. Youssef reports for the Daily Beast.

MacFarland said the United States does not indiscriminately strike targets that risk civilian casualties. Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has repeatedly called for the carpet-bombing of ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria.

“We are bound by the law of armed conflict,” MacFarland said during the presser.

“At the end of the day it doesn’t only matter if you win,” he said. “It’s how you win.”

Ok Charlie. Thank you so much for dispensing such noble advice for us. Coming from a Liberal Democrat such as yourself, this really touches our hearts and means so much to us. Please continue to advise us Republicans how to vote. I almost made such a serious mistake in my voting.
